OBITUARY..

Charles Swanson, n well-to-dO farm
er living in Belgrade township, Nicollet
county, about five miles from Mankato,
died suddenly Monday morning of i'll
tlammation of the bowels. Deceased
was taken i'll ut eight O'Clock Sunday
evening, and though physicians were
called, no relief could be given him and
his death occurred at 10 o'clock the next
morning.
Mr.. Swanson was native of Sweden.
He landed in st. Paul in the summer of
1913; shortly after left for Scott county,
where he worked on a farm for ten
years, being employed by Mr.. p. NJ.
Petersen. From there he moved to
Hennepin county, where he married
Mrs. Solomon. He resided there five
years and ran Il barge on his own ac-
count between Hamilton Station and st.
Paul, and also conducted farm. He
then moved to Nicollet county, where
he has since lived. His first wife died
in 1850 leaving two sons, Albert Swan
Solomon, Ia son of her former husband)
who is now a well-to-do farmer living in
Belgrade.
In February, 1888, Mr.. Swanson was
again married to Miss Zina Simpson,
who with two children survives him.
Mr.. Swanson was liberal, honest and
popular citizen of Belgrade township,
and was respected by all who knew
him.
The funeral was held Wednesday, and
a large procession of friends and neigh
bors followed the remains of the de-
ceased to their last resting place i'll the
GlenMOOd cemetery.

THE RAM BIER.

While visiting the fair last week
noticed particularly the good feelings
which the farmers appeared to bear to-
ward Mankato. There was none of the
feeling of petty jelousy and an inability
to see anything good in Mankato or her
people that characterized the farmer
who recently stated to reporter of this
paper that the farmers would boycott
the fair. In fact, the fair would have
amounted to out little had it not been
for the honest grangers who brought
their stock and vegetables to be exhibit
ed, and paid most of the entrance fees.
AS far as the latter statement is con-
cerned, there were ten farmers to be
seen on the grounds to one citizen of
Mankato, however disagreeable the fact
may be. 1t is pleasing to know that the
friendly feelings that have always united
the Blue Earth county farmers with the
people of her county seat still live, I'M
affected by the calumny of a few croak-
ers who are never happy unless stirring
up some mischief and ill-feeling.

THE BICAMY CASE.

In the preliminary examination of
Asher A. Morgan and Mrs. Hester Ann
Simmonds, on the charge. of bigamy,
which occurred Saturday, a strong case
was made out against the parties. The
complaining witness is William NJ. Sim
monds. a son of Mrs. Simmonds. A
number of her other children were
brought in to prove that the woman,
their mother, had always lived with the
senior Simmonds as his wife. Some of
the neighbors were also brought in 10
prove this point. The same witnesses
were placed on the stand to prove that
Morgan and Julia Ann SImmonds,
daughter of one of the defendants, were
legally married, and had been living to-
gether as husband and wife.
Neither of the defendants brought any
witnesses for their side of the case.
Their only defense was that their first
marriages were not legal. Mrs. Sim
monds claimed that Mr.. Simmonds has
a wife living from whom he has never
promised to get divorce when she mar
ried him some thirty years ago, and that
she married HIM at the request of her
family, whose name was Henderson, and
who resided in Wisconsin. Simmonds
denies all this, and as she has lived with
him as his lawful wife and has always
claimed to be such, and, moreover, has
had fifteen children by him, her story
appears to be very gauzy.
Morgan claimed that he was not legal
ly married to Julia Simmonds, the
daughter of his mother-in-law and would,
be wife, as he had not paid anything to
be married. He said that he could moi
see how it was lawful marriage unless
it had cost him something.
Morgan is a repulsive looking man, Of
rather small stature, wiry, and has face
that resembles that of an ape. His fea.
lures are small and his eyes are wild
| looking and have an unnatural CLEAN.
He took his arrest at first impatiently
and wanted the case decided at once, as
he chad professional business that he
must see too at once" He has cooled
down since his commitment.
Mrs. Simmonds is tired looking indi.
vidual, who never had any claim to
beauty, and certainly is the opposite Of
lovely now. She is very respondent
Both parties are of American descent
A number of the Simmonds' children, OF
whom there are twelve boys and three
girls, were in the court room, and had
three infants in their arms. Filth pre-.
dominated, and, added to an apparent
lack of regard for morality, counterbal
anced the natural brightness that the
children have inherited from the father
The family is very poor, and recently al
lived in one room.
Morgan and the woman are now in jan
in default of $500 bail. The two wives o.
the former are on the best of terms.

the enterprising village rapidly recover
ing from the disastrous effects of the fire
and business moving along much like O
old.
MIR. Mitchell, president of the bank
has force of men at work building q
block which is to be occupied by the
State Bank. Hank Humphrey has pur-
chased the lot next to the bank, and will
build together with Mr.. Mitchell. 1t is
expected to have these two buildings
completed in sixty days.
A. A. Hanson has established himself
at the old Doyle corner. He says that
the most he regrets is the loss of his
books and his pet dog, both of which 1t
was impossible to save.
Mr.. A. III. Smith is opposite the Cen
trail Hotel, and is running his restaurant
in good style. Mr.. Smith lost every
thing in the fire and had no insurance.
Mr.. Smith had intended TO rebuild, but
as the council has ordained that nothing
but brick buildings shall be put up, he
has been compelled to give up the pro-
ject. He will put in stock of groceries
at his present quarters, and assure to do
well, as he has the good will and sympa-
thy of all
Marston q Larson have opened an of
flee in the Davis block. They will not
rebuild this fall. Rowland & Reese are
also located in the Davis building, and
are transacting business as usual. They
expect to erect block in the spring.
The move of the council In demanding
that the new buildings be of brick is no
doubt wise one. Robinson q Workey
are making preparations to have full
supply of brick on hand at their kilns.
Mr.. ii. NJ. Beardsley, of the Central
House, was found as accommodating as
ever. He said the fire got pretty hot at
times, but by the exertions of the fire
boys and the protection of the trees the
hotel was saved.
Lorin Cray is comfortably established
in his building opposite the hotel. He
still mourns the loss of his library, and
records, but nevertheless is ready to at
tend to the wants of his clients as of old.

ROBBERY.

M. A. Sherk &..Son's grocery store was
broken into Sunday night and about $l2
in money and and several boxes of CT
CARS were stolen. The thief effected an
entrance by taking pane of glass out OF
the north window of the store and then
christening and raising the sash. To
get in he had to Chamber over some bags
of flour, upon which his tracks are visi-
BILE. There were two other drawers IN
which there was some money, but these
were overlooked. The robbery must
have taken place after l:30 p. m, last
night, as at that time everything was all
right. Nothing further has been missed
than that what has been stated above.
There is no clue to the thief. Several
looking characters were seen

SACRED HEART ACADEMY,

AChloy, Ia, Juiy Il, o..
Our Dear Musical Friend: With pleas
ure we mail to-day the little memento of
the renowned Able LISTS Life, and
have the honor to address you. You
should have had it ERE this, but the pub
fishers failed to dispatch it on the speedy
and impatient wings which friendship
requested. The hope it will reach you,
and if from the perusal of its pages you
you afforded us during your short stay at
Ackley the reward will be ours. The
wrapper on the book you will find to be
copy of L. NJ. Gottschalk's "Morte 70
(Iie is dead.) And as we encased it, the
thought of the appropriateness was
forced upon us, for he whose glorious life
is recorded in the little book is now
dead. Fifty indeed could the memory
of his death be associated with the won
derful minor chords of the lamentation.
Would that we might some day have the
sincerely desired pleasure of having dear
Boone call forth with his magic-like
touch those sad strains. We shall never
forget one sweet, sad note which he
struck for us-no not one, from the faint
est, softeat rain drops of his own "storm"
to the mastery touches of grand old
LISTS creations; and as for the plalntive
tones which spoke his farewell request,
they shall never die, but wander per-
turbedly through the halls and galleries
of memory, and will be heard through
all the calms and storms of life, distinct
and living as when they first displaced
the wavelets of air, and at each vibration
will be reverberated the sincere and
heartfelt answer, twill remember thee
ever"
F Hoping and praying that the story of
your life when told, may have more sun
shine than rain, more of happiness than
pain, less of poverty than gold, we desire
to be ever remembered among dear
Boone's choicest friends.

BOARD OF TRADE.
The Railroads Under Discussion.

The regular meeting OF the Board OF
Trade was held Monday morning, Pres.
Noe presiding The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read and approved.
Mr.. j. A. Willard, from the special
committee appointed to see what the
plans of the st. Paul Il Duluth road are,
reported that he and Mr.. Meagher had
interviewed Mr.. Fisher of that road and
that he stated that the road would not
consider any proposition to run the
main line through Mankato as they de-
sired TO have bee line from st. Paul to
Omaha. If the city wanted branch
line to the city, which would run through
LeSueur county, they would consider
the matter after the main line was con-
structed. Mr.. Willard stated that two
grades are under consideration, one of
which would cut off corner of McPher-
son and go diagonally through Medo,
and the other would 90 through Dan
vile. The surveyors are now in the
southeastern part of the county.
Mr., Barr, from the encampment COM
mittee, reported that the committee
had raised about $50 since the last meet
ing, including what the members had
given. There still remains 176.l6 to be
raised.
The treatment of the city in regard to
depots by the various railroads was dis
cussed and also the matter ola union
depot. The discussion brought out the
fact that the hostility between the
roads would forbid the put
ting up of such a depot without the
city taking the initiative. The Omaha
road will not vacate Fourth street and
lay its track on the river bank because
of the low grade at that place, the Mil
waukee road being able to move but a
limited number of cars up the grade into
West Mankato, while the Omaha always
has much longer trains.
